What are neck bone spurs and can they heal?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No!: Bone spurs represent wear and tear in joints. This is no different in the spine. They will remai. In order to improve the condition of the spine drink plenty of water, perform stretch exercises and strengthen your back and neck with appropriate exercises as well!
